Phone music to amp - new solution needed

rodders · 26 Mar 2019 at 19:59

Hi all,

I used to be able to wifi connect my phone to my amp (sony str1040) but my new phone wont do that. I also used to use the usb min to MHL connector, but the new phone is usb C and it doesnt look like you can do that.

I can screen mirror, but that flattens the phone battery pretty quickly.

I tried a cheapy RCA to 3.5mm cable and its quite crackly, probably because its cheap?

Do I buy a more expensive one, or what other solutions are there, blue tooth receivers etc....?

Your latter suggestion is my favourite, but won't be the missus,

My z5 used to connect via WiFi to the amp, my xperia 10 won't do it the same way.

As I missing a trick on how I should be doing it

I think sony have dumped the WiFi connectivity on the latest phones, probably as the newer amps have BT.

CCA with optical looks like the solution for me.

Ill try the app suggested above to

Cheers
